Iceland’s coffee shop recommend(part 1)
1️⃣ Cafe Vatnajökull 📍 Along Route 1 in South Iceland Isolated wonder: A lone café facing endless wilderness and the Vatnajökull Glacier. The coffee tastes like golden hour—slow, rich, and quietly majestic. 2️⃣ Iðnó 📍 By Tjörnin Lake, Reykjavík A historic building reborn: Dine to the soundtrack of swan calls and laughter. Sunset magic: The lake turns to liquid gold—best paired with their rhubarb cake. 3️⃣ Halldórskaffi 📍 Hidden in Vík, beneath sea cliffs Seagulls circle outside, while black sand beaches and a red-roofed church frame the view. Sip local history: Their coffee comes with free town lore (thanks to the adjacent visitor center). 4️⃣ Kaffi Krús 📍 Selfoss’s sunny yellow cottage Where locals gather: Heaping plates of plokkfiskur (fish stew) and Oreo cake fuel the chatter. Smells like: Cinnamon, gossip, and Icelandic comfort. 5️⃣ Bókakaffið - Books & Coffee 📍 Also in Selfoss A piano, books, and espresso: My friend played a melody here, and time froze in the amber light. The trifecta: Pages turning, coffee steaming, hygge thickening #Cafe Vatnajökull#Halldórskaffi#Mokka Kaffi#Reykjavík#travel guide#coffee
